I'm looking to build a 1000yd gun.  I would like to build it with a 6.5 twist heavy barrel, flat-top.  Who makes one?  Any other ideas?  Thanks!

Man, that's the longest barrel I've ever heard of!  I wouldn't want to pack that one! LOL!

Are you looking for a 6.5:1 twist barrel in .223 -- or a 6.5mm barrel, like the Grendal?

I would like to get it in .223 to shoot the 90gr bullets.  Thanks!

Have fun. Most of the long range shooters are using 6.5 and 7.62.

Right, but I would like to try with the AR.  I would even consider the 6XC barrel, but I don't know that they make that barrel for the AR.  Jst my $.02.

That's a really freaking long gun.  I doubt the bullet will ever make it out of a barrel 1000yds long.

You might consider sticking to a barrel length between 16" and 24".



Actually it works really well. You just load up a magazine with 1 live round on top of 10 or 12 blanks. Then just keep pulling the trigger until something comes out the other end.  It's a bit of a handicap for the rapid fire stages though.

Sorry, couldn't resist, and yes, I know that wouldn't actually work.
